The current whereabouts of manager Claudio Ranieri were unknown, though.
The Italian said he was going to his homeland to fulfil a lunch date with his mother and would not be back until after full-time, but reports suggested he instead chose to fly home early.
As tonight’s game ticked into the sixth minute of injury time Leicester left-back Christian Fuchs captured the moment at the final whistle as he and his teammates erupted in jubilation.
What a story!
Leicester will lift the Premier League trophy at their final home game of the season on Saturday against Everton.
